I Eat Out.
Loudon.
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I cook a little but it's not a lot to shout about
[C] It's kinda mean cuisine
_ [Em] So I eat out
And they know me at the Greek and the Czech and the Italian
And they until
They all [C] say, here comes that sad American man again, what are we gonna [Em] do? _ _ _ _ _
_ You [Am] can put me at the table in the corner in the back unless you got one in a telephone book
[Em] I'm here and I'm alone again, it's sad, but it's the truth
[Am] No, I'm not expecting anyone, is that beyond belief?
_ [Em] Give me the menu, take away the candle, never mind the aperitif
_ _ _ _ _ They got a couple of couples, a trio and a foursome, they even got a party of eight
[C] I'll _ confess, I wish [Em] I'd already ate _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ What's the matter with you people?
_ [C] You're telling jokes and you're holding hands and you're [Em] talking with your mouth full _ _ _
_ _ [Am] Well, the waiter comes up and he asks me, how is it sir, is everything alright?
_ [Em] _ The food's fine, but I feel like a fool cause I'm eating alone tonight
_ [Am] Don't say I was here at all, what would all my loved ones [Em] think?
I'll take a check, no sweet, no coffee, [B] no after [Em] dinner drink _ _ _ _ _ _
I can cook a little but it's not a lot to shout about
Oh,
